  • Emerson as a MF/winger?
  • Fabiański, Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma ©, Cresswell, Emerson, Souček, Ward-Prowse, Benrahma, Cornet, Ings
    Subs: Areola (GK), Anang (GK), Johnson, Ogbonna, Casey, Mubama, Marshall, Scarles

    No Alvarez in the squad at all, raises red flags for me for the next match v Sheffield Utd.

    No Fornals either. Could easily be illness.
  • Cresswell and Emerson? 3-5-2?

    4-4-2? 4-4-1-1?

    If we are baffled, hopefully Bristol City won't know what's going on .
  • Bear bones come to mind
  • We should have finished them off in the first game .

    . Transfer related?

  • Aguerd is at the ACON
  • I really doubt Aguerd is in line for a move.
  • I realised Aguerd was at AFCON, so amended post. Were there not rumours about him though ( which IMO are not correct)?
  • Must confessing, dreading this a bit.

    WH fans loud though, at KO.
  • Behind already.
  • Well that started well
  • Mavropanos so poor.
  • Shocking tackle.
    No Var, so Bristol city will presumably kick us up and down the pitch.
  • Cornet, 2 touches, gives ball away both times.

    Not just him though, Zouma let their player go past him without moving, and Fabianski so deep and so slow to come for the ball.

    Yeah, very poor by the ref, didn't even give a foul.
  • Mavropanos is having a nightmare.
  • They are quicker to the ball all over the pitch.
  • Mavropanos is having a nightmare.

    His confidence looks to have completely gone after the early mistake.

    No, can't blame Fab. Mavropanos can't play ball into an area without looking; keeper can't be at fault. He did well to try to bail the defender out without giving away a pen,imo.

    Just his fault and his alone, no matter what Zouma did

    We'll have to agree to disagree then. Whilst Mavropanos shoulda put more on the backpass, we don't concede with Areola in goal imo. I don't see how Zouma gets a free pass either tbh, if he tracks their player that he had a 3 yard head start on, again no problem.
  • Let's slag him off a bit more... Help him score from a corner 😆
  • Cornet puts it wide from 2 feet out.

    That's better!

    Cornet needs slagging off too.

    Where's OCS when you need him!

    Cornet puts it wide from 2 feet out.

    Tbf he did well to get a foot on it (it was a miss hit shot by Soucek rather than a pass) and it was a bit more than 2 feet out.

  • Benrahma playing twinkle toes.

    Can someone tell him that the point is for our team to score a goal.
  • We're getting a fair bit of possession now, but the problem is we're not used to playing with a lot of the ball and we're missing the creative players to unlock a set defence.

    Ings looked so slow there.
  • How many times have we given the ball away.
  • The fall off in quality is so bad. Teams like Brighton can have a dozen players out and still look a decent outfit we lose 3 attackers and look total tinpot.
